Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Contend 4

I liked the shoe overall BUT the toe box seemed small and narrow especially over the base of the toes.

Ok for daily wear and walking. True to size.

It is perfect fit.

So I have always bought ASIC but I relied on the reviews. I was very happy I listened to the reviews saying most people found the shoes on the small size. I ordinarily take a 7.5 and can do regular width but with a bunion developed I decided wide width would be a good option. So I went half size larger and wide width and it was perfect or slightly tight but after a few workouts- just perfect! I’m happy

I usually wear a size 9 and my toe was at the front edge. I moved up a half size and then they were good. Very comfortable, even on my first day of wearing them.

I order a half size up as I insert some custom orthodics I like this style and this is my second pair. Comfortable right out of the box.

This is a nice shoe, nicely style, and true to length. But they just weren’t quite wide enough for me, so they had to go back. I wouldn’t recommend it for people who are right on the cusp between regular and wide with. Otherwise, go for it!

This is my first pair of Asics. I ordered three styles, each a size 8 wide, even though my normal size is 7.5 wide. None of them seemed exactly right - a bit squeezed - even though the two other brands I tried in my normal size were fine. I was about to give up then re-read the reviews and ordered this style in 8.5 W and this one fits....so please take heed - these shoes are VERY short. The heel gel feels nice but there doesn't seem like very much cushioning toward the front of the foot. I'm going to put some insoles in for more padding and arch support, if they fit. They look okay - nothing special and nothing offensive. My feet supinate rather than pronate, so I'm interested to see whether they do help with that. If they don't wear out in the outside back corner way before the rest of the shoe, it will be a success.I can't fairly compare them to other Asics models since I evidently did not have the right size in any of the others. First time in my life for a 8.5!

I’ve had a few ASICS in the past, I really like these ones almost as much as the others. The white part at the bottom is bigger than it appears in the photos which I’m not super into, but ultimately it’s not a deal breaker. Just not my favorite style.

Bought these shoes because am having a hard time finding the Gel Equation shoes I used to get, and these looked similar. Have only had them a week, but am happy so far. Other reviewers have said they run small, but I bought a size 8M, which is what I usually wear, and they fit perfectly. I like the look and feel to them. Time will tell if they hold up well. At this point, I would recommend them, and would buy them again.

Really like the width and look of these sneakers. But the “gel” comfort is not the same as the higher priced styles. Too bad the other styles don’t carry wide widths in my size. Back to the drawing board ...

I ordered 1/2 size larger after reading the reviews that it runs small and am satisfied with the fit. Good shoe - especially for the price

Nice shoe, but seems to run small.

I took the advice of others and ordered a half size larger than I usually get in Asics. The fit was perfect and they offered good support. I returned them because I did not like how they looked on my foot. The sole was white and stuck out around the shoe forming a lip that I didn't find attractive.

I have a narrow heel but not a narrow foot. I also have to use orthotics for my plantar fasciitis. These shoes work for me as casual shoes. I do not use them for serious exercise, for that I prefer the Asic 2000 series. Lately all Ascis have run smaller for me. Brooks seem more true to size.

Sneaker felt good at first but after wearing for a few times starting having pain in back of heal. Had to return

Tried so many Asics, these were the first with the nice roomy toe box like my last ones, but they can up too high on my heel and rubbed on my ankle bones :(

I like the look of this shoe and the weight is good. However there is no arch support. Factor in inserts to your price if you need that!

I ordered up a 1/2 size like the other reviews said and they fit good. There is little to no arch support in these shoes. I tried walking long distance in them and the middle of my feet hurt. Now, I just wear them for regular everyday use, like going to the grocery store and taking my daughter to school. They are good for this. I love the way they look. It is so hard to find a white cloth shoe. So, if you are going to do a lot of walking, I would recommend something with more support in the middle.

Runs small. I usually wear a 9.5. I have another pair of ASICS that are a few years old that are a 10, so that’s what I ordered in these, but they are just a hair too short. I’ll try the 10.5 because they look good and seem like they would be pretty comfortable.
